Adventurous Love

Chapter 15

Warning! Long chapter!!! So grab your popcorns and a comfy place to enjoy!!!

Cassy's POV

The nerve of that abominable guy!

Ha! He's lucky that I didn't go back. I guess he likes my food even after all the ranting about his nonsensical precious body and how it reacts to things.

I was ecstatic when he called me. I refused his offer of doubling my salary cause I don't want to be seen as a leech and he's already paying me enough.

Now, I feel like sticking his head up his ass. Breakfast that I properly and patiently prepared! Guess I will be the one eating it. Smirking to myself,I made my way to the table and devoured the food.

After clearing everything ,I felt a slight pang of pain s***h through my abdomen but I ignored it.

I put my plates in the dishwasher and cleaned the table.

I wonder how Salome is faring after that vomiting bout last night. I made a mental note to call her later. The reminder of call made me rush to seat on one of the comfy sofas and grab my phone.

I immediately dialed Brandon,my sister's husband. I was desperate to hear from my sister.

He picked up after the second ring.

"Hey Brandon."

"Cassy! How are you doing?"His voice was kinda shouty but I guess it's because of the noise in the background. I could hear my nieces and nephew playing around and shouting.

"Can I speak to Mary?is she awake?"

He chuckled."I guess you've missed her a lot."

There was some shuffling before I heard my sister's weak voice.

"Hey darling,"she said.

"Are you okay? I was apprehensive cause she sounded stressed out. What's happening? How's your body?Are you feeling any pain?"

She started laughing."Wo wo dear!! One question at a time,okay? I'm okay. It's just the drugs that's causing me to sound like this."

"I was so worried. I even wanted to come and see you but Brandon stopped me."

"He had better,she said in a Stern voice. I'm not going to cut short your vacation. Speaking of that, how's it going. Have you used the lingeries

Any knight in she shining amour?"

I blushed furiously. "Mary!!!!

You know what,I think you are very okay for you to tease me like that.

Give the phone to my babies. I'm done talking to you."

She laughed and passed the phone to the eldest first.a

After talking to him for like a minute,the other girls started fighting for the phone and I chuckled at that.

Finally they conceded to answering the phone one after the other.

After the call,I saw that Brandon already sent me a picture of the new born baby. He also added that they named him Caleb.

             Picture of little Caleb



He looks so cute and soft. He also has my eyes! And we have the same initials of name. I squealed loudly. I am so going to spoil this guy.

While gushing over the lastest addition to my family,I didn't notice the front door open until I heard a noise.

Springing to my feet,I saw Jordan making his way to the kitchen. It seems he has not even noticed me standing there.

"Jordan?"

He stopped in his stride and turned to look at me.

He seemed surprised.

"Cassy? What are you doing here?"

"Remember you recommended me as the cook for Mr Damien.I got the job."

"Wow! I didn't know.Congratulations."

He looked actually happy for me.

I c****d my head to the side, confused, "I thought your mum would have have told you?"

He scratched his jaw and looked at me sheepishly. "I haven't seen her for a week. I had to do something else where but now I'm back. Is she in?" He pointed his hands towards the kitchen.

Wait. That explains why I haven't seen him for a week.

I shook my head.

"I'm not sure she's in.Why don't you call her phone?

I haven't seen her this morning just a maid cleaning the kitchen when I arrived."

His face looked drawn and he collapsed on one of the chairs in the sitting room. "Her phone is not going through.I had assumed she would be here cause she's not in the house either."

"Oh...ok. So what are you going to do?"

"I guess I would go back home and wait for her."

"If you don't mind me asking,why are you so adamant on seeing her?"

He looked almost desperate.

"I need to tell her something and I really need her advice."

I was curious now

"Can you tell me."

He looked at me as if trying to weigh the pros and cons of telling me but then he eventually shook his head.

"No worries. Why are you still here? I thought cooks only make breakfast and dinner."

Yh....I sighed. I was about leaving but decided to make a quick call.

"You want to head out?"

"Hmmmm...I like the sound of that. Moreover this place is reminding me of that big headed jerk."

"Big headed jerk?" he said chuckling while we made our way to his truck.

We settled on the leather seats. He started the engine and we took off.

I decided to tell him what happened this morning. He laughed so hard ,I thought he would faint.

"Don't get us killed" I shouted when I saw him double over and clutching his stomach with one hand and the other on the steering wheel.

"I'm sorry. It's just so funny and you know what's even more hilarious.You complaining about the much energy you put into preparing the food and eventually eating it. I mean...you got to be at least happy that you ate the food."

I mumbled "I guess so.

Where the hell are we going?"

"I want to buy a hammer in the town's supermarket.There are some holes in our ceiling and I have to fix them."

He said as as form of explanation and I nodded my head at him with a bored face."Then we can go get some icecream."

My face lighted up then. "Yahhhhhhh, I shouted and waved my hands. Ice cream!! but then I frowned. You're paying right?"

"Of course, my lady." He made a show of bowing his head a little and we  eventually burst out laughing.

We pulled in to the supermarket garage and walked in.It was then I realised something.

Salome would be on duty today! I was happy that I would get to see her and ask her about her body. I felt bad this morning for not even glancing at her because I was in a rush. All kudos to that arrogant jerk.

After Jordan purchased his hammer,we made our way to the checkpoint to pay. It was then I saw Salome. When it got to our turn ,I enthusiastically called out her name.

"Salome!!! How are you doing? Have you stopped vomiting?"

I was rambling on but then I realised that she didn't answer me.

She was pale white and her eyes were so wide it looked ad if it will pop out.i traced her eyes to see that she was looking at Jordan. He looked uncomfortable too shuffling his feet awkwardly.

Did they know each other?

I tired to ask  Salome but found out that she had expression has turned to normal but I couldn't miss the way her hand was shaking as she put the hammer in a nylon 

bag. I lightly touched her arm and she flinched. I was hurt that she still didn't trust me.

Jordan paid,collected his purchase and went out without even looking if I was coming behind him.

I was worried for Salome. "Are you okay Sal?" She finally raised her head to look at me.

"I'm okay. Just peachy. I'll be fine."

I was still worried and a bit curious.

Do you know Jordan?"

"Jordan?" she asked looking sincerely perplexed. How couldn't she know his name when she started at him as if she knew him?

I huffed. "Yh...the guy you were literally staring at for about a minute."

She blushed furiously and lowered her head down again.

So his name's Jordan ,she mumbled under her breath. Her voice was so small that I couldn't have heard her if I was not leaning so close to her.

"What do you mean "so his name is Jordan?""

"What?She shook her head. I didn't mean it like that. He just looks like someone I know."

I studied her and I knew immediately that she wasn't telling me something.

I'm going now. Take care of yourself. Okay?

She mumbled a yes, still slightly disoriented.

I frowned and made my way out.

They definitely knew each other!

When I got to the garage, I was grateful Jordan hadn't left me alone.

I got into the truck but found him staring out the window at nothing in particular.

I called his  name. "Jordan!! Jordan!!"

He jumped and looked at me.

"What's wrong with you?Are you okay?Do you know Salome?"

"Salome?"

I huffed, irritated he was answering the same way Salome did when I queried her

"Yh. The sales girl and my friend?"

"Oh... it's nothing. Then he looked at me curiously. And when did she become your friend?"

I didn't answer him cause he was obviously refusing to answer my question.

I didn't push the matter cause I knew he will never spill anything to me.

He was that secretive.

I'm going to find out how they know each other. After all, I'm a journalist. Well a jobless journalist. I sighed and reclined on my seat.

The appetite for icecream gone, he dropped me at my vacation house and I made my way up.

Not long after, my phone rang and that jerk's strong voice flowed through.

"I need to you to prepare lunch,park it up and bring it to the island's central hospital.You ask for Mr Damien when you get there and you will be directed to my office.

Goodbye."

I felt like stoning my phone at his big head except that he wasn't present.

So I have to go to that godforsaken house again,prepare lunch and take it to him.

Am I his slave? We clearly agreed to do only breakfast and dinner, so what's this? He has something coming for him if he thinks he can order me around.

Hey loves!

Hopefully, I will update tomorrow but I might not cause I need to go back to my hostel to get some things.
